Drying question. Heard of this?

I hate the taste of shrooms. I don't know why. It is something that has developed over time. Just getting them down my throat is the only downside to the whole thing. And they are tough as nails when I dry them, making them harder to swallow or crush. And they get nasty and slimy when I make tea.
Here is my question. Could I somehow blender/pulverize them when fresh or roll them into a paper thin paste? I want to end up with a powder when they dry. I could then put the powder in capsules or whatever... Any thoughts?

i just dump weighed out shroom chunks in water. boil for 10-15min. take out large chunks n trash. flavor water. yum yum.
no consumption of the fruit body so it really helps with the ickys. and yes. get 00 caps, powderize shrooms and put in pill form.
but you are still consuming the fruit bodies so the filtered tea is best. and yes it leeches the actives out. they are highly soluble in water. not so much in booze.

I use a nutribullet to turn dried mushrooms into a powder and mix it with juice, water, or green tea with some honey. Or munch on em whole too. I don't mind the taste I just feel pulverized they kick in faster and dont get stuck in your teeth from chewing.

Just dry them as usual then use a blender or coffee grinder to powder them up, if your idea is to get high on the capsules each 00 full will weigh about .5! So you may end up taking shitloads. I think you are much better of making tea like mushboy said it put the powder in a shot glass with some lemon job done

recently ive been boiling whole shrooms in 1/2cup of water, reducing it to about 1/4. discard soggy shrooms add another 1/4 cup of cold water/lemon juice and drink that shit down. even on low doses, its mighty potent tea.
i use to eat the left over shrooms but ive been tossing them in an attempt to not trip quite as hard.. not working

Put the powder in coffee, chocolates, fruit leather.
I've grown to not like the taste as well.

Mixed powder into chocolate milk shake and couldn't taste anything also mixed in lots of pulp OJ and had no problems. I too can't stand the taste of them. I also found out and I'm super surprised how smooth it was to take down is to powder or in my case just break up by hand in Ziploc baggie and put into double shot size shot glass then fill it up with lemon extract the kind you find in the plastic lemon container now mix a lol bit and let it sit for 15 minutes or more. The lemon juice is actively breaking down the trippy stuff and converting it into the trippy form it needs to be in for humans to trip your basically doing what ur body does to it after 15 to 30 min the shot will be hella dark black and look like it'll taste like total shit it go ahead and knock it back it has no shrooms flavor at all it just a little lemony and it'll get u tripping faster and harder but I've noticed the trip is about an hour shorter.

Its gonna turn to mush. U could do it but ur gonna have mush juice everywhere and it could degrade potency a lil. Why dont u just try it? Mash it up real good in a bowl and dry it quick somehow.

Definantly going to degrade the potency. Guaranteed. The psilocybin is somewhat safe inside the cells of the mushies, when you grind you want to use not long after. Powderizing dry is better than mushing fresh then drying. Your exposing more material to oxygen which destroys it as we all know

Or why dont u look into extractions? It doesnt have a good shelf life but u could just do it in small batches when u wanna trip. Or get a coffee grinder and just do it when theyre dry. Idk why u just dont use a weed grinder, it turns to dust.

Oxygen isn't exactly responsible for oxidation. Oxidation is a kind of reaction named after oxygen because that's how the electron transfer reaction was first discovered and understood by. Elemental oxygen in the air isn't very reactive. Otherwise metal would all rust like mad, but it only rusts like mad when it is exposed to water, especially salt water. Wood isn't oxidized unless you start it on fire at which point oxygen from the air can react.
Some things like pure lithium metal are very reactive themselves and will react with oxygen from the air to oxidize
In my experience mushrooms are far less delicate than most people seem to think.

You're not weird. For some it's an aquired taste once the connection in the brain is made between taste and effect.

blue honey is a good long term solution I like to make mush chocolates 2 grams in each made with an ice tray made with hersheys symphony bar. drop in hot water stir until dissolved tastes just like hot chocolate with NO mushroom taste whatsoever

I like powdering them in my trusty coffee grinder, and capsuling them up with size 00 caps. Or take the powder and steep it in some boiling water for a while, with a ginger tea bag, then straining the mush out with a coffee filter. Just tastes like ginger tea for the most part.

Although i like the taste of shrooms, i like to grind and mix them with honey. it enhances the the taste a lot!
but it`s all about personal preference...

That can go both ways too, like If you had a bad experience or got sick
I hate dried cubes, the texture and the taste I just can't do it. I make tea. Fresh cubes I can eat though Sometimes though after harvesting many tubs in a row the smell makes me a little sick

I had a bad trip a few months ago, endrd up in the ER. Havnt been able to handle shrooms since. Even a small dose gives me anxiety now. Idk why but it suck. I hit my head, maybe that had something to do with it.

Am I doing something wrong? I dry shrooms and they turn out like beef jerky...a small exaggeration, but they are very hard to crush or grind. They last, but don't snap... "cracker dry". I have tried different ways, mainly use a regular fan.
If you do shrooms too often, you start getting bad trips. I only do them about every other month. Mckenna and several others have noted this.

Mckenna is an entertainer and fancy speaker.
If you can only handle shrooms every month or so id say you are hiding/running from something(yourself)
I eat a lot of shrooms. I ate shrooms for all of december and i shroomed two nights ago and i will tonight..
Nothing wrong with me.

Cracker dry means if you step on the shroom it turns to dust. Like stepping on a dead and dried cockroach.

After uve dried them, leave them in the desicant. Theyll get as dry and brittle as u want. I get where ur coming from, i cant grind the fat ones, they harden into a rock sometimes. Try picking them early for personal use, theyll be easier to crush.
